With 3G-SDI and HDMI I/O, enough power to handle up to 1080p 60 recording formats and an web-based UI for setup and configuration, HELO can fit into a number of workflow options that match various professional streaming and recording applications found in live event production, webcasting, houses of worship, corporate communications, production and post. Compact and housed in aluminum, the device is lightweight to travel well for field projects.

HELO can achieve independently configurable H.264 streaming and recording bitrates up to 20 Mbps, with embedded audio support and dual RCA jacks for audio monitoring. USB, SD card and network recording supports flexible, scalable and inexpensive storage. A second USB port can be used to configure static/dynamic IP addresses, or make firmware updates via a simple UI. Thee are also dedicated stream and record buttons for start/stop triggers or complete web browser-based control. www.aja.com
